Command Analysis

Kapitan Stupino

Current form
The team from Stupino has surprised many in this championship with its play, showing not quite confident results. However, what is there to be surprised about? Last season, the team took the last place and left the "Gold" division, and in the "Silver" division, it does not shine with results, playing much weaker than many of its rivals. In the current championship, the club under the leadership of Denis Kulyash played 33 matches, having a negative difference between victories and defeats - 11 victories with 22 failures, which corresponds to the fifth line in the "Silver" division of the Western Conference. "Captain" missed 33 goals more than he scored, which indicates poor performance in the attacking line. In the last calendar meeting, the team lost to its today opponent (1:2, OT), having missed a return goal at the end of the third period. The match before, the team suffered a defeat from "Russkie Vityazi" with a score of 1:2, having missed a puck in the second and third periods. The gap from the top three is as much as 11 points, and it will not be possible to make up such a gap before the end of the championship.

- On average, the team scores two goals per game

Dinamo Shinnik

Current form
This season, the team has been transformed and since the start of the championship is the leader of the Silver Division of the Western Conference. It is worth noting that the Bobruisk team is imposing a fight on more experienced and famous teams and is fighting for a play-in. In the last championship, the team lacked only two points to get into the top three and show itself in the knockout matches, which is what the Belarusians intend to demonstrate this year. In the current MHL draw, Dynamo-Shinnik has the task of reaching the playoffs of the Kharlamov Cup and at this stage they are coping with this goal. After 35 matches, the hockey players leave the most pleasant impression in terms of the result and quality of the game, being the leader of their division. Andrei Mikhalev charges won 27 victories, suffered only eight defeats and are ahead of the Red Army by five points. In the last calendar match, the team beat Kapitan in overtime, but in the game before that, they suffered a defeat from Krylia Sovetov (3:4).
